The Great Industrial Ming Dynasty Started from Beiping

Chapter 8 300 million and 6000 million

The sound of nature.

The eldest son's words made Zhang Dehui believe that there must be a magpie calling on the willow tree in the courtyard this morning, but he didn't notice it.

With the signboard of King Yan's Mansion.

From now on, the thirteen families in Xishan will be his Zhang family's world.

Who would be willing to share a business that can be monopolized alone.

"I don't know what rules the eldest son has set." The businessman's vigilance did not make Zhang Dehui dizzy, and he still asked subconsciously.

Zhu Gaochi is not afraid of being tricked by businessmen.

No businessman dared to cheat him.

Zhang Dehui must have his extraordinary ability to make the business the largest in Xishan.

In Beiping Mansion, the name of King Yan's Mansion is easy to use.

Zhu Gaochi can half force and half cooperate to promote the steam engine, but the rest of the place does not mean it is easy to use.

Zhu Gaochi is Zhu Gaochi, and King Yan is King Yan.

Moreover, Zhu Gaochi is only 14 years old, and his name can't scare the big family from other places.

As the saying goes, a strong dragon does not overwhelm the snake.

If you want to sell the steam engine to the whole country, you need to go door-to-door to promote it with the locals, and Zhu Gaochi can't do it himself.

The people in Prince Yan's Mansion are too bureaucratic, asking them to put down their dignity to discuss business, I'm afraid it will only make things worse.

In business, it's better to only talk about profits.

Otherwise, favors will come and go, and business will gradually decline.

If it doesn't work out, it will become revenge.

"Profit three to seven, you three and we seven."

[-]% of the profit.

As long as the market matures, [-] steam engines in the world will not be enough.

The United Kingdom is a small country, and the number used in local mining areas is as high as thousands.

How many times is Ming Dynasty the size of Great Britain?
On the eve of the Industrial Revolution, the population of the UK was less than 600 million. Three hundred years ago, England now had only more than 300 million.

The current population of Ming Dynasty is already 6000 million in the Yellow Book.

Twenty times that of the UK.

The area of ​​Shandong Prefecture plus Beiping Prefecture is nearly twice that of England.

The population is as high as 800 million, which is more than the population of the whole of Britain in 300 years.

Theoretically speaking, the demand for Beiping Mansion alone can reach nearly a thousand units. Adding Shandong, two to three thousand units is not a problem.

As for the current Ming Dynasty, due to the historical problems left over from the previous dynasty, the population of the south exceeds that of the north.

Even though Zhu Yuanzhang encouraged south-to-north immigration for more than [-] years, the population of the south is still three times that of the north.

Zhang Dehui doesn't know England, but he knows Daming.

Know more about Daming Hermits.

As long as the market is cultivated and there is a signboard of King Yan's Mansion, nobles will not tear their faces to imitate it, and ordinary people have no courage to imitate it.

For a unique business, let alone [-] units, selling [-] units is not a problem.

600 million taels of silver.

Deep wells are readily available at mine sites and do not require major changes.

Wansan and the others assembled the steam engine next to the mine in their own mine, and Zhang Dehui watched the whole process.

The steam bowl of the steam engine is twelve inches long and as tall as a child.

The most costly materials are the large cross arm and the supporting pillars.

Although Zhang Dehui has been playing Tai Chi with Zhu Gaochi, he has actually been secretly observing the steam engine for a long time.

Half an hour.

The pumped water is about 140 barrels.

It can pump 680 barrels of water a day and night.

This speed is no longer humanly possible.

Sending people into the ground to lift water from mines with a depth of more than ten meters, or even tens of meters, requires human lives to fill them, and everyone will be gone if they don't pay attention.

Moreover, how wide a tunnel needs to be dug is enough for people to open it.

Instead, the steam engine.

It only needs to make a hole in the ground, and with a pipe, the groundwater can be continuously pumped up in large quantities.

The price of 300 taels of silver is acceptable regardless of the market environment.

Not counting transportation costs and expenses, Zhang Dehui estimated that the profit of a steam engine was as high as 200 taels of silver.

Ten thousand units is 300 million taels of silver.

Thirty percent of the profit is 60 taels of silver.

Zhang Dehui can be sure.

I can't make so much money even in ten lifetimes.

Even if the transportation and local expenses are removed, at least 30 taels of silver can be settled.

What if it can sell [-] units?

The warranty is 20 years, and if it is not replaced in 20 years, it will be replaced in 30 years, right?
It's still a cyclical business.

Can be passed on to descendants.

……

The eldest son took the big head without doing anything.

This... is too benevolent.

then.

Originally, most of Wansan's benefits belonged to Zhang Dehui.

Wansan only took five taels of silver for the patent fee.

Five taels or less?

Quite a lot.

One hundred units is 500 taels.

The eyes of Wansan's apprentices were all red, and they couldn't help being excited.

Master eats meat, are they afraid that they won't be able to drink soup?
An apprentice is half a child.

The master beat and scolded the apprentice as if he were his son, and it was only natural for the apprentice to seek benefits from the master.

This is customary.

A master who can't bring out his apprentice and let him start a family will be stabbed in the back.

The same is true.

Disciples who dare not be filial to their master and disobey their master are unfilial, will be cast aside by the world, and will not be able to stay in the locality.

Zhang Dehui takes [-]% of the profits.

Zhu Gaochi took [-]% of the profits.

Thousands of dollars are drawn, and he gets fifty taels of gold for every one sold.

All are happy.

All three parties are satisfied.

Taking advantage of everyone's happiness, Zhang Dehui made an excessive request.

"The name of Prince Yan's Mansion must be engraved on the machine, so that the common people know that it is a good item made by King Yan's Mansion for the people, and it will be passed down through the ages."

"No, I promised Wansan, it's called Wansan Steam Engine."

"Grassmen dare not."

Wansan doesn't want to be famous.

Zhang Dehui said with a smile: "The machine is still called the Wansan steam engine, but it does not prevent the engraving of the name of Prince Yan's Mansion."

Seeing that the two of them didn't understand each other, Zhang Dehui explained helplessly.

"If the steam engine Wansan can be made, other people can make it just by looking at it. It will be engraved with the name of King Yan's Mansion, so no one will dare to imitate it."

Isn't it just a large pumping well? The only problem is the [-]-inch steamer.

If Wansan can make it, others can take it apart and look at it, and they can do the same.

Zhu Gaochi understood Zhang Dehui's reminder.

Lao Ma is very good at doing business, and his imitation is equally good.

I only thought about patents, but didn't think about people's hearts. I was negligent.

Zhang Dehui's performance just after joining made Zhu Gaochi recognize the other party's talent.

"Boss Zhang, I will leave the matter to you in the future. We will support you in how you want to do this business."

There is a specialization in surgery.

Zhu Gaochi learned the truth in his previous life, professional things should be done by professional people, and laymen should not guide experts.

If you pretend to understand if you don’t understand, problems will arise.

With these words, Zhang Dehui was delighted.

But I got on the Yanwang Mansion, and from now on the whole Xishan will walk sideways by myself to see who dares to offend me.

"But let's say it up front. When doing business, you must abide by the rules of doing business. If we hear that you are using our name and doing mischief outside, don't blame us for not being sympathetic."

Zhu Gaochi's voice was stern.

"Don't dare."

Zhang Dehui's heart turned cold, and the sweet dream he had just had was punctured, like an eggplant beaten by frost.

However, with such a unique business, the profit alone is enough to make Zhang Dehui work hard.
